    Reminds me of a Taco Bell building that turned into a really good independent taco place. Retained the distinct building shape, but the food was astronomically better and the service was friendlier.

    Feels that fits the message just as well, lol

      The best Chinese place in my area for a long time was in an old taco bell.

      To be fair we called it China Bell. (It was actually called Chef Ma’s)

    they serve meat (hot and cold cut sandwiches). the whole gimmick is that they sold everything but burgers, but now they sell burgers

    I’m so happy that the person who made this didn’t actually know what an Arby’s is at all. Have an Arbytrary day

      Imagine going to a community dedicated to shitty memes and complaining about shitty memes

      ^This. Absolute straw man and i’m not even a conservative. Fight for rights without ostracizing people you don’t agree with.

        Maybe I don’t understand the definition of straw man properly, but I don’t think this is one. It’s a response to a metaphor some conservatives have used against trans people that the look of a pizza hut is so iconic, that it’d be rediculous to call it anything else, because it’s obviously a pizza hut, no matter what you put inside it. This is a response to that, showing that insisting it’s still a pizza hut just because it looks like one to you is absurd. I agree it’s a little bit cringy. There’s been better rebuttals to it, but I think this still makes the point.

        I don’t think this was ever a popular conservative argument though. I’ve only seen it in screenshots of a single highly retweeted tweet with various rebuttals attached. I guess it seems more like just a random dumb argument people decided was fun to make fun of.

          The pizza hut/arbys is clearly a metaphor for trans people, but I have never seen a real, conservative flip the fuck out just because someone used the person’s preferred pronouns. Most people are really moderate in reality. A strawman is when a group creates personified stereotype that they can pin their problems on to have something to be angry about.

          That said.

          TRANS RIGHTS

    The Arby’s card was incredible. Though honestly a shell gas card really isn’t much better.
